Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) is a system broadcasting, without the need for action from the pilot or any request from ATC, that provides an enhanced set of aircraft surveillance data to Air Traffic Management (and potentially to other airplanes)

Overview

Fokker Services offers a certified solution for the integration of Satellite-Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS) and Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), supporting modern navigation, surveillance, and performance-based operations. This upgrade ensures compliance with global mandates while delivering operational efficiency and precision.

Overview

Localizer Performance with Vertical Guidance (LPV) enables precision-like approaches down to CAT I minima—without requiring any ground-based ILS infrastructure. LPV relies on Space-Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS) such as EGNOS (Europe), WAAS (U.S.), or other regional systems. This makes it an ideal upgrade for operators seeking improved accessibility, operational flexibility, and compliance with evolving navigation mandates.

Fokker Services has joined forces with Navtech, Jepessen and Dynamicsource AB, leading providers of flight operations solutions, and developed an EFB solution for iPad® installation that may revolutionize the way we navigate our skies. Technology moves quickly, and at Fokker Services it is our policy to stay ahead of the game. We design and launch more than 300 aircraft modifications every year, believing that even an already functioning product can be improved on. In recent years Apple has captured the hearts of the consumer with their innovative thinking, whilst Navtech represent quality and credibility within the aviation industry. Combined with the history and experience at Fokker, the development of such an innovative yet simple solution felt like a natural progression. Service providers today are under a lot of pressure to meet growing demands. Products must be efficient, safe, cost effective, user and environmentally friendly; Our EFB installation is ticking all the boxes and is available for most aircraft types, including Airbus, Boeing, ATR, Bombardier Challenger & CRJ Family, Embraer, Fokker and others. 

Over 1300 installations and upgrades have been ordered

The Traffic alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) has been introduced in order to reduce the risk of mid-air collisions or near mid-air collisions between aircraft. When TCAS II version 7.1 is implemented the probability of mid-air collisions will be reduced significantly. *

The introduction of TCAS change 7.1 software is available for Fokker 50, Fokker 70 and Fokker 100 aircraft as well as for other types of aircraft like Airbus A318, A319, A320, A321, Boeing 737 series, 757, 767,  Bombardier Dash 8 and CRJ. (* source: www.eurocontrol.int)

The 1st FAA Certified LED Anti-Collision Light for Commercial Aircraft

Dependability, Weight Savings and Inventory Reduction

The Talon Aerospace anti-collision centerline/fuselage strobe light is designed to replace all incandescent based centerline lights installed on Boeing, Airbus, McDonnell/Douglas, Embraer, Bombardier and other regional aircraft. 

During retrofit the operator will purchase an install kit, which includes an adaptor and harness assembly. On airframes that have accessibility provisions inside the interior the upper centerline light allows removal from inside the cabin. The harness and adaptor will last the lifetime of the airframe. 

Talon and Proponent

Proponent is the exclusive global distributor of all Talon Aerospace products. This relation provides customers with the latest generation of LED lights.

Proponent is the new identity representing Kapco Global and Avio-Diepen as one united company, and the unique capabilities that the new organization brings to the aerospace market. With extensive experience in supporting the MRO, OEM and airline markets, our organization offers innovative inventory and supply chain management solutions to OEM and aftermarket customers.

In recent years most countries have issued mandates requiring aircraft to be equipped with ADS-B Out equipment in order to fly in most controlled airspace. By the end of 2023 almost all mandates will have entered into force including US, EU, Australia, Canada, China, Colombia, India, Indonesia, Mexico, South Africa...

ADS-B is a surveillance technology in which an aircraft periodically reports GNSS position together with aircraft specific information such as Flight ID, Aircraft category, etc. This information is received by ATC or other aircraft and can be used to enhance airspace usage and improve situational awareness.

S65-8262-12: All metal communications antenna.
Light weight, low drag in a rugged design package.
Resistant to erosion and impact. DC grounded to provide lightning protection, eliminates "P" static. Hermetically sealed. The antenna is 25% shorter and 30% lighter than the S65-8262-2, but keeps the identical mounting footprint. Other models available with optional internal low pass filtering system to prevent VHF interference to the Global Positioning System (GPS). Total harmonic attenuation greater than 80 dB.

*Since its introduction in Europe in 2000, TCAS II version 7.0 has been the subject of monitoring. In the course of analysing recorded and reported events, many cases were found in which pilots did not respond correctly to the “Adjust vertical speed, adjust” Resolution Advisories (RAs) – the vertical rate was increased rather than reduced.
Additionally, there have also been a number of cases in which TCAS II version 7.0 failed to reverse an RA when two converging aircraft remained within 100 feet. This type scenario would be occur when one aircraft is not following the RA or is not TCAS II equipped and follows an ATC instruction or performs an avoidance manoeuvre based on visual acquisition.

The development of version 7.1 was initiated by EUROCONTROL following the discovery of two safety issues with the current TCAS II version. (*www.eurocontrol.int)

BAE Systems have introduced TCAS II 7.1 across the OEM Fleet Bae146 (all variants), AVRO RJ (all variants) and ATP as well as Boeing 737 series and Boeing 757
